Roopesh was recently promoted to Director, Maximo Technical Competency Center (MTCC). Roopesh is responsible for Maximo product architecture, development, support and integration to major ERP systems within the zones.
Current Tasks
Roopesh and the Maximo team will maintain Sodexo's commitment to Maximo on a worldwide basis as the technology foundation for our Facilities offer.

I possess over fifteen years of experience in the IT industry as a Senior e-Procurement Architect, Lead BI Applications Architect, Project Manager and Applications Programmer. I specialize in front-end BI tools and designing infrastructure architecture for Hyperion applications, Arcplan's Dashboard, secured report content delivery portal and back-end programming in SQL, along with administration for multiple strategic systems.
My education includes a Master's degree in Computer Applications and a Bachelor's degree in Science, both from the University of Madras.
Within our team, there is a key phrase most of us find is often applicable: "There is never a dull moment here."
Without question, the best part about working for Sodexo is the people. In my humble opinion, Sodexo is blessed with a workforce that has a diverse background. I so often come in contact with business partners who amaze me with the amount of functional knowledge and great attitude they bring to the table. My role allows me the "entrepreneurship" environment I need to manage challenges in my line of sight, while guaranteeing the right support when needed.
In my mind, technical expertise in combination with people skills sets the stage for success.
First invoicing from CaRMA system posting into our financials. It was not a challenging moment, but a memorable milestone output of many years of hard work and amazing teamwork.

"Attitude is everything."
As a technical representative of the help desk, I participate in many corporate projects. Most recently is Sodexo Password Self Serve. The application was designed and built internally. I also administer the Symon digital signage and call reporting in the help desk environment.
My current position is Director, Help Desk and Desktop Support. I am responsible for communications and efficiencies related to technical support and end user issue resolution. I manage technical support for the Sodexo NorAm Help Desk Technical Level 1 (outsourced) and Level 2. I also manage Desktop Support for the Buffalo corporate office and Sodexo remote sites.
The technical support and desktop support teams provide end user assistance with hardware and software troubleshooting, including "off the shelf" software, Windows operating systems, malware cleaning, Web browser configuration and all applications not specifically supported by the other help desk teams.
I have been with Sodexo for 19 years. I started as a clerk in Revenue Reporting and then worked for a while as a sales tax audit accountant before moving to the help desk as a technical support analyst. During my time at the help desk, I was promoted to team lead, then manager and then senior manager.
What I like about my job is that there is always something new. There are deployments and upgrades occurring regularly. I interact with many different people and find relationship building both enjoyable and critical.
Sodexo is a great company to work for because…
Types of Books I Enjoy Reading:
Right now I am seeking and reading all the free books I can find available for download to Kindle. My favorites are mystery/suspense fiction and business books focused on team building.
Most Memorable Sodexo Moment:
The help desk is the place people come when they need assistance. We fix computers – but our users call us when they don't know who else to call. I will never forget the day a user called to find out what is in our coleslaw recipe.

With what I do, I have the pleasure of touching many projects: the implementation of SAP as our ERP, applications that service our internal labor, food and unit financial reporting, as well as a wide variety of customized dashboards and data warehousing tools. I have been involved in the design of three versions of our NA intranet, as well as specialized public facing sites and our collection of various country Internet sites. Branding initiatives, photography, e-learning, usability and exhibit solutions are all things I do.
As Manager, Media Design, I work within the Enhancing Technology Change Team (ETC) within IS&T. I work with development teams to increase usability of our applications through usability studies and tests. UI design comprises a big part of what I do, as do marketing and special projects both in North America and globally. One large special project I am working on is our enterprise-wide Digital Signage project. A day in my life can consist of user experience testing, video shooting and editing, interface design, creating animated e-learning, product marketing and identity creation, and coding Web sites.

My education is a bit out of the ordinary for someone in an IT organization; Geo Physics, Art and Music have been my areas of study. My college experience was based in Southern California, having attended Mt. San Antonio College and Cal State University Fullerton. My additional education is centered around HCI, allowing me to blend both the analytical scientific side of me with the artistic. I have worked as an art and creative director, film producer, musician and ad agency/studio owner. I have created Web sites, ad campaigns, television commercials and documentaries. I have had the pleasure of always loving what I do for a living.
What you like about your job/most exciting part of your job:
Two things: The people are great, as is the variety. No two days are the same for me. I am truly lucky to work in such a great organization. Our culture is focused on people, both within the organization and the people we serve, and our corporate citizenship is one that an employee can truly be proud of. Our slogan is "Making every day a better day" and honestly, that's what we do.

Sodexo is a great place to build a career because...
Sodexo is devoted to developing its employees, and advancement is available to those who wish to attain it. Our HR group is to be commended, for the people who work for Sodexo are truly great and enjoyable to work with.

Favorite Places to Travel:
I've rarely traveled to a place from which my soul did not grow: France, Italy, England, Austria, Mexico, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Canada. I love immersing myself in foreign cultures, seasons, mountains, deserts, seas, oceans and skies. I've also had the pleasure of working and playing in all the aforementioned.
Favorite Genre of Music:
That's a tough one. I enjoy playing as well as listening, and my tastes run the gamut from classical, acoustic guitar, electronic, rock and rap to a wide variety of ethnic music from Africa and South America and French folk music. It's all in my CD and iTunes collection.
Most Memorable Sodexo Moment:
PowerIT (SAP) go-live. It was hectic and we were working long hours, but the sense of teamwork and accomplishment were incredible.
I've had the opportunity to work on several projects during my time with Sodexo. One project was the conversion to SAP. I assisted with the various SAP functional teams such as the Data Warehouse team, BI team and other miscellaneous teams to convert our mainframe batch schedule to AutoSys. This resulted in an AutoSys batch schedule that included approximately 5000 individual jobs. I was also involved in the ADP Conversion. I worked with the Labor Management team to automate over 60 interfaces between ADP and Sodexo. Additionally, I supported projects involving Labor Management and Food Management. I assisted both teams with automating batch schedules and file transfers. Moreover, I assist in handling all enterprise batch scheduling and file transfers that comprise 14,000 jobs.
Current Tasks
I currently work in the Production Control department, which provides IT operational support services in the areas of job scheduling and system monitoring. A key function of the department ensures the availability and quality of applications to meet Sodexo's business requirements. My primary duties impact the job scheduling sector. I administer and define the automation of our enterprise job schedule. I also facilitate file transfers both internally and externally and work on incident and problem resolution.
Other Projects Tom Has Worked On:

I have an Associate's degree in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor's in Urban and Public Policy Studies. My previous IS&T experience was with one company, Tops Markets (a local supermarket chain), where I started as a help desk specialist, worked my way to supervisor, and ended up in the technical support department as an AIX/UNIX administrator.
I love the fact that I get to work with almost every team within IS&T and AD&D, along with our customers in the financial service center in Buffalo. Our team plays a role in almost every system we provide to our customers.
Sodexo is a great company to work for because…
I get to work for a company that cares not only about our customers, but also about its employees.
Sodexo is a great place to build a career because…
You get to work with a great team that is not only personally diverse, but also technically diverse. You get exposed to a large variety of technologies.
I would recommend Sodexo as an employer of choice because…
They care about me.

Monthly Wellness Horoscope for PiscesPresented by Horoscope.com
You might be tempted to explore alternative methods of healing or perhaps to travel somewhere that offers a treatment or technique that helps you resolve a health issue. Healing may be a matter of stepping out of your comfort zone, keeping an open mind, and being willing to gather information, some of which could seem miraculous and amazing. You're not just looking for healing. You're also looking for a complete transformation, either to your health or to your life in general. As you pursue your studies, a line of inquiry may seem to call to you. If it feels right, follow it up.

Cauliflower Cheese "Brain"
Whether to feed your monsters on Halloween night before trick or treating, or as a gross-out meal kids of a certain age and sensibility will enjoy year round, this ghastly "brain" will fill the bill.
Chickpea Burgers
Deep-fried chickpea croquettes called falafel are a Middle Eastern specialty and are also a popular street food in Canada's urban areas. Here we form falafel mixture into patties instead of croquettes and reduce the fat by frying in a nonstick pan.
Spaghetti and Tomato Basil Sauce
An easy, basic Italian-style tomato sauce that uses mostly pantry ingredients. If you don't have basil, stir in a little butter at the end, or a little soft goat cheese.
Vegetable Lasagna
We've simplified the lasagna-making process by soaking the noodles and using extra sauce when layering, instead of boiling the pasta. Hearty and bursting with vegetables, this is our best-ever vegetarian entrée recipe.
Cheesy Ravioloni and Sauce
Cheesy pasta is always a hit with kids. Your budding chef can help make this one!

Has anyone managed to get one of these to work?
It is shown attached to my Vodaphone UK SIM and is marked China3GPP. When I insert it into my phone I get a 'Incorrect SIM This iPhone must be installed with an approved SIM' message.
The phone was purchased in the UK and is a week 43 phone with updated 1.1.2 firmware and modem firmware 04 02 13 G. The phone works great with an O2 PAYG SIM.
I did the downgrading and then upgrading using the procedure shown here
How can I tell if I installed OktoPrep when I did the upgrading? would the O2 PAYG SIM work if I had not?
Is this card a popular one? and has anyone managed to get this clone card to work? or have I done something wrong, or is the card faulty?

Is it Wednesday already? I don't mean to sound unprepared, but these weeks just seem to be flying by lately. Have I mentioned how much I appreciate you, dear readers, for reading my rambling and completely uneducated wine posts? Well, let me remedy that right now.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Okay, back to the wine.
Some people take their wine very seriously. Ridiculously seriously. You can tell these people not only by the type of wine they drink, but also the accessories. It's all about the accessories, right? Ultra sophisticated openers, stoppers made from precious metals and blown glass aerators that look like works of art. Some might say that owning a 36 bottle wine cooler is going a bit overboard, but I would like to tell those people that they have no idea what they are talking about and they should just keep their big mouths shut if they know what's good for them. Ahem. Uh. Where were we?
Yes! Ridiculous accessories. How about these.
Wine glasses that represent the seven deadly sins. They'd be funny if the website didn't seem to take itself just a teensy bit too seriously. The creator encourages the drinker to be theatrical. Last thing I want when I'm drinking wine is drama.
Or, how about a jewel encrusted bottle stopper?
Yeah, that would look real nice keeping my nine dollar bottle of Berninger fresh.
No. I think something like this is more my taste.
This would be better if the corkscrew part folded down switchblade style so you could use them as real brass knuckles, but this is pretty bad-ass, too. Wine isn't for sissies! Believe me, I've been to some wine tastings where if you weren't quick enough, you'd get elbowed in the ribs or hip-checked out of the line. Wine can make some people so angry.
Yeah, you can keep your bedazzled bottle stoppers and fancy schmancy theatrical wine glasses. Just give me a red Solo cup and a brass knuckle opener and I'm ready to party.

Weeden just wants a shot next season
Updated On: Feb 14 2014 07:06:29 PM CST
Brandon Weeden faces an uncertain future with the Cleveland Browns, but the quarterback is certain about one thing: He wants to play next season.
Whether that's with the Browns or another team, he would not specify. With Brian Hoyer returning from a knee injury and the Browns likely to draft a quarterback in May, Weeden might be on the way out in Cleveland.
"I want to play football," Weeden told The Daily Oklahoman on Friday. "I don't care. I just want to play football and be at a place where it's enjoyable and we can compete and win games. That's really what it's all about."
The former first-round draft pick out of Oklahoma State struggled in his first two seasons with the Browns, each under a different head coach. Now the Browns have a new coach (Mike Pettine) and a new general manager (Ray Farmer) who were not part of the decision to bring in Weeden.
Weeden is under contract for the 2014 season, but the Browns are expected to have enough room under the salary cap to absorb the hit if they decide to cut him loose.
"I understand the business side of everything that's going on," Weeden said. "It's kind of out of my control because I'm still under contract. The ball's kind of in their court, depending on what they want to do and do with me going forward. I kind of have no control over it. It is what it is, and things will work out."

Pretty sure the wine glasses are $7.99. That being said, I bought the double old fashioned from this line and they're gorgeous. Worth it.
Can't get past the first pic. Whoever thought that was a good idea?
Oh wow, that pie looks delicious! I'm keeping it vintage. I'm (finally) going to use my vintage Franciscan Autumn dinnerware and hope my latest dining room acquisition, a Florence Knoll dining table (craigslist - $400! What?!) will be adequate given that it does not expand. Food? Cajun inspired maybe?
I was blinded by the pie! You're quite right though...the crumbs are perhaps a bit un-called for / over the top.

Neighborhoods: Paradise
Pleasure to deal with – At first glance the low prices, and contemporary style of the furniture looks too good to be true, but the brothers who own Melrose Furniture are the real thing, and an absolute pleasure to deal with! The best thing is that the furniture is a great value for the price. They delivered and setup the furniture on time, as promised! Be sure to ask for Karen (it's actually a guy's name, just Russian). It's always a pleasure to do business with people who do what the say they will do! Continued success, and good luck Guys!
great selection, but over crowded and chaotic – There is just about everything you could want here for clothing and restaurants. The only downside is dealing with hordes of people. Personally that really ruins a shopping experience for me
Privilege Store – Was in Las Vegas over the holidays. I was shopping for a pair of boots at Privilege. The sales girl excitedly showed me a pair of $400 boots. She said there was only 1 pair left and they were my size and on sale for $99. She took them to the cash register for me to purchase. I shopped a little more, added another pair of shoes. Got up to the counter and the price suddenly became $240 because "oh, my manager found one more pair in back." She proceeded to start ringing me up. Told her no, that they needed to honor the price she quoted me not once but several times. Nick the supposed store manager said if she sold them to me for $99 the balance would be taken out of her paycheck. I told him that was illegal and violated labor laws. He basically didn't care and was extremely nasty. I asked to speak to the owner. He told me no, he would not provide me with her info nor tell her about hte situation. Obviously I left without buying anything. Worst customer service and attitude I have EVER encountered!
SHOPPING AT THE FORUM, NOT SO FRIENDLY – Shopping at Skooz, and other designer shopes at the Forum:
My husband and I was in Vegas for a week for the Magic. We visited several shopes in the Forum and 8 out of 10 did not greet us, nor welcome us when we walked in for shopping. My husband entered a store and picked up a dress and the rep immediately yelled that dress is 10k! I guess to say we could not afford anything in the store. LOL! I also noticed we were the only ones in the store, maybe that's why with the economic crunch, she's really scaring customers out of the store. I did get a generous young man at a shop name "Privilege," and I did purchase there because he made me feel welcome. My husband which is a frequent Vegas person, stated "I've never seen so many sales here in the Forum." Well, they need sales and new reps to acknowledge all green money, not only the RICH and FAMOUS!
Horrendous Experience at Las Vegas Ceasar's Palace Versace – Spare yourself heartache--shop elsewhere. As a financial analyst of a retail apparel chain, I know that there are ethical businesses that care about customers. Give your money to them, not shysters. My husband and I are considering legal action against LV Versace. We request the franchise refund us $1,000. 2 days ago, my husband bought a dress from their Ceasar's Palace store. He asked salesman whether he could return it as he wasn't sure it would fit intended recipient, his wife. The sales rep told him, 'No problem.' We took the dress back today to return it as it was too small. Staff refused to take it back. Everyone at the store has told us something different about details of this sale. The salesman called in sick today, so we talked to saleswoman on duty. She repeatedly interrupted me as I politely asked questions about various store policies re the purchase. She interrupted to take "No cash refunds" sign out from BEHIND another sign behind the register and read it to me! She said the stamp on my husband's receipt said, "No cash refunds." (Salesman stamped this on his receipt AFTER my husband signed the receipt, then immed dropped it in his bag.) She told us that her store didn't need customers like us. While I asked her what happens when a sales rep tells customer something contrary to store policy, she dismissed me by ringing up another customer's order. We asked to speak to manager. She was in a conference. Employees of Versace Jeans provided us the names of the owners, who are also the managers. I later called manager, who was very unhelpful and condescending, saying comments about my husband such as "Sometimes men don't ask the right questions." The manager told me that I should be grateful to get store credit, as they usually don't offer customers that. When I asked her to confirm the owner's name, she said that she couldn't give me the owner's name and told me to send a letter to an e-mail address which is corporate's, not franchise's.
The Forum Shops - Casa Fuente Bar – I think the Forum Shops is a mall with a great variety of stores, bars and eating places. Probably my favorite spot there was Casa Fuente Bar.
I stopped by Casa Fuente last Sunday afternoon (January 14th) to watch some football and have a couple of beers. This is actually a cigar bar, but even as a non smoker I found it thoroughly enjoyable. The Casa Fuente hostess (who was also my server) was cordial, effecient, engaging and attentive (not to mention beautiful). She checked on her customers frequently and was exceptionally prompt with her service. The owners could not have found a better hostess than this young lady.
Great Shopping – I loved the forum shops at Caesars. Most of the shops are upscale of course, but you can still some nice things even if you don't have a lot of money to spend. I especially loved the Coach store! The ladies were very nice and helpful and there was a good selection of Coach products. I'm definately going to save up so I can shop more for my next visit to Vegas.
Start to forget it is great – After a while, everything in Vegas starts to look the same. It's all big, it's all great, it is all incredibly overpriced, and the Forum Shops at Caesar's are no different. It is as beautiful, grand, and spectacular as anything else no doubt. If I had an extra ten grand, I would have really enjoyed this place.
Something for everyone – Yes, this is "just a mall," but this shopping center truly has something for everyone, all ages, all price ranges. As someone who's not into gambling, this was a great place to spend a day and spend some cash. Also, since it's in Caesar's, the same place as the dance club Pure, my friends and I were pulled aside by a club promoter and put on the guest list! If you're into shopping (and possibly getting into Pure for free without having to wait in line), I would definitely recommend it.
GREAT PLACE – lots to do and see 24 hours a day fun and fun and fun and then i go to the moon and see crickets play in sand box

Bath towels are a very generous size. Hand towels are average and wash cloths seem like they are just a hand towel cut in half, one side is finished, the other is not. The towels are thick. The reason I didn't rate 5 stars is because the bath towels are clearly two different shades of brown. One is more of a golden brown and one is more of a coffee brown. I was pretty disappointed because with shipping this was a **.** set of towels, not cheap. I expected more....or at the very least for all 6 pieces to be the same color. If you don't mind the color variance, these towels are ok.
These are the thickest most wonderful towels. So glad I bought them. Definitely buying more.
I ordered these because of the aqua color. I was so surprised by the thickness and size of the towels. They are big, soft and thick. Normally I don't use thick towels because they tend not to be as absorbent. These do a fine job. Do not use fabric softener, that really decreases the absorbency of any towel. Buy these towels, they are great and the "O" has aqua floor mats and shower curtains that match .
The charcoal color was a ltitle darker than I expected. Wish the towels were more absorbent compared to another set I bought on overstock.
These are the WORST towels you could EVER buy!! How deceiving they are!! When they were washed, they were VERY soft and plush. HOWEVER, they do NOT absorb water, at all!!! All the towels do is to push the water around on your skin. I have never had towels that are this bad!! At the time, I paid $61.99 and thought they would be great. WRONG!! Don't buy these towels or you will be VERY disappointed!! I washed them twice thinking they would be better the second time. NO! AWFUL!!!
The Color is nice, but the towels are for display only, not for use. They don't absorb the water, very uncomfortable when trying to dry off.
I bought these towels for in our RV, in the cranberry color to match the burgundy colored 400 thread count sheet set that I bought at the same time hoping that they would match enough to be acceptable. They matched exactly, and were sooooo soft and plush! We used the sheets on the top portion of our RV's dining area's cushions and then put the towels' bath size on the bottom part. This way the sheets were right there for at night and the towels could absorb any spills that may occur while being exceptionally soft to sit on at the same time! I used the rest of the towel set in the bathroom and kitchen areas. The sizes of the towels are great-nice and big. Just perfect for what I needed them for! The price was a bit high for towels,so that is the only reason that I didn't give them 5 stars. Not the towels fault at all. If I was just rating them, they would have gotten a definite 5 stars and excellent in all areas!! The shipping and O.Co's customer service is as always great and very helpful whenever needed! Thank you.
The towels are durable, comfortable , their just great.
I LOVE these towels, they are so soft and plush. My daughter doesn't because she says that they are not absorbant, but they dry me just fine.
Very nice. So soft . Very good buy. will buy more when the time comes.

Natural Wonders on the Caribbean's Island of Dominica
Newly discovered by adventurous travelers and the eco-minded, Dominica is a Caribbean pearl that harbors jewel-like rare parrots and a boiling lake.
Where exactly has Dominica hidden its runway? Out the starboard windows of American Eagle Flight 5062, the jungle-clad slopes of Morne Diablotin, the highest peak in the eastern Caribbean, loom like a green, gathering wave. To port, there is only a further cloaking of canopy, swelling as our aircraft skips above the pronged ridges of the Northern Forest Reserve. Finally, a few simple huts and groves of citrus trees appear, then a sliver of tarmac shoehorned into a distant, narrow river gorge. That's Melville Hall Airport? The plane makes a sharp, 90-degree bank and drops into the steep-sided cut, a descent that feels more like a dive-bombing run than a final approach. Just beyond the wingtips, a gantlet of banana, coconut, and cacao trees line our landing path, so close I'd be tempted to pick their fruits if I didn't have a death grip on my seat's armrests.
A daunting degree of difficulty has always been the saving grace of Dominica (pronounced do-min-EEK-ah), an unspoiled place its boosters call the "Nature Island.'' For centuries its extreme topography, including four peaks topping 4,000 feet, discouraged any settlers who weren't intimidated by the truculent native Carib, whose lyrical name for the island--Waitukabuli--means "tall is her body.'' Located in the midst of the Antilles, between the French possessions of Guadeloupe and Martinique, Dominica was the last island in the Caribbean to be colonized and has been independent only since 1978. This former British backwater has never succumbed to mass tourism. Its few beaches are mostly composed of uninviting black sand. Rainfall can exceed 300 inches a year. And pervasive, precipitous mountains coupled with the lack of an international airport have stymied the tourism industry. On Dominica, nature still dictates the terms of visitation. This is a destination for travelers who won't miss cabanas or casinos or white-sand beaches, who don't mind getting caught in the rain or tramping up a live volcano in search of rare, rainbow-hued parrots.
Puerto Rico, St. Vincent, and St. Lucia can all claim a singular parrot, but diminutive Dominica is special. Though just 290 square miles--smaller than the five boroughs of New York City--it supports two Amazon parrot species found nowhere else in the world: the endangered imperial (Amazona imperialis), known locally as the sisserou, and the red-necked (A. arausiaca), or jaco, which is considered vulnerable. Only Jamaica, an island 15 times the size of Dominica that is home to the yellow-billed and black-billed Amazons, can make a similar claim.
"We're quite lucky to have two parrots,'' says forest ranger Bertrand "Birdy" Jno Baptiste as he coaxes his jeep up the western slopes of 4,747-foot Morne Diablotin. Dominica's preeminent bird expert is a stocky, energetic man on constant alert. He takes care not to spill a mug of hot, home-roasted coffee on his oversize T-shirt or camouflage-print cargo shorts as he tackles a succession of switchbacks and scans roadside farms of coffee and oranges for wildlife. "They need tall trees,'' he continues. "They need proper rainforest. That's why they're here in the first place.''
I look through his windshield, which sports a "drbirdy2" decal in NASCAR-sized type, at the primeval landscape confronting us. Since leaving the northwest coast's dry-scrub forest, we've climbed approximately 1,600 feet in just five miles to arrive at Morne Diablotin National Park. The nearly 8,500-acre preserve was created in 2000 to safeguard the parrots' primary-forest habitat and protect this watershed, which supplies Portsmouth, a town second in size only to Roseau, the capital. Morne Diablotin is hardly the last vestige of mature rainforest on Dominica; 60 percent of the country remains wooded, including large swaths designated as parks or forest reserves that have never heard the scream of chainsaws.
The upper slopes of Morne Diablotin abound with the towering, 100-foot gommier and chataigner trees preferred by the island's parrots, which nest in their cavities. Jno Baptiste parks his vehicle, shoulders his tripod and costly Brunton scope, and leads the way onto Syndicate Trail, a nearly mile-long loop along the park's western boundary with an excellent birding reputation.
Along the well-marked track, he notes the resin oozing from a gommier, a gum tree that Carib Indians used to hew seagoing canoes, and the stout, buttresslike roots of a chataigner, a tree with fruit similar to chestnuts. Above us a blue-headed hummingbird--found only on Dominica and Martinique--nicks a spider web for insects and nesting material. From the forest floor, Jno Baptiste picks up newly shorn green leaves of a riverwood tree; they've been cut by parrots. It could be either the sisserou or the jaco, he says. Both species relish the shoots. Just off the track, Jno Baptiste notes a large cavity in a karapit, a tropical hardwood where parrots are also known to nest. The two-foot-wide hollow could hold an imperial parrot, which requires wide roosts, since its chicks must flap their wings before fledging, but it's too close to the trail, he explains. It's better suited to a red-necked parrot, a bird less sensitive to human presence.

NEW ORLEANS - You wanted hope on a big national stage? You got indigestion.
You wanted to measure the Dolphins in an undefeated matchup on Monday Night Football? You got Monday Nightmare Football instead.
The Dolphins stepped up in weight class Sunday and showed it was a step too far for them. They're not NFL heavyweights. Not now. Not yet. They've made good progress this September, but this night became a football Mardi Gras for New Orleans.

- Jamar Taylor talks about playing after injury
Saints win, 38-17.
Dolphins sniff reality.
That's how you score this night. And you also take a spoonful of perspective as you do. They're still 3-1. They now have a tough September behind them. And, yes, they have a lot of work to do.
"It wasn't pretty,'' Dolphins owner Steve Ross said succinctly and oh-so-accurately.
But here's where you relax, Dolphins fans. Here's where you take a cleansing breath. Your team is 3-1. They've played three of four on the road. And this was the toughest game on the schedule, playing the undefeated Saints in the funhouse of the Superdome, where the atmosphere is summed up in two words: Eardrum abuse.
That's the good, big picture. Monday's uglier small picture was filled with turnovers, missed assignments and dropped passes. Where did the Dolphins lose this night? Everywhere. But it really started with the player who had sparked this 3-0 start more than anyone.
As good as quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been this September, as well as he played in out-dueling Luck and Ryan on successive weeks, Monday night showed you a glaring area he needs work.
It's a strange one, too. If you picked him to be leading the league in a stat after four games, would anyone have picked fumbles? He had his sixth fumble of the season in the first half Monday after scrambling up the middle for eight yards.
"He's got to get down quicker,'' Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said.
Quarterbacks fear the pick-six interception. But the fumble-six? Brees turned that into a second-quarter touchdown. He did so again when a Tannehill interception gave him the ball a few minutes later.
There were 14 New Orleans points leading into halftime. And that, folks, was your ball game.
Tannehill threw the ball fine to that point. He moved the offense fine – the Dolphins actually had 224 total yards at half to the Saints' 202. But those two turnovers slid a good game down the road to a rout.
Of the Dolphins first 12 plays of the second half, Tannehill was sacked four times. Of five New Orleans offensive possessions going through the third quarter, New Orleans scored on four of them.
Get the picture? It wasn't one thing. It was everything. But even as the night was slipping beyond hope, as New Orleans took a 35-10 lead, you saw a glimpse of something small to grab out of this night.
Starting at his 33-yard line, Tannehill assembled the kind of drive that said he wasn't completely lost. Threw for 13 yards. Ran for 15. Threw for 18 more. And, at the end of the drive, he lofted a perfect 3-yard pass to Charles Clay to the back of the end zone.
It wasn't enough against New Orleans this night. It made a small statement moving ahead. If we've become experts on anything about the Dolphins this past decade, it's understanding when teams don't fold.
That's something out of a nothing night. It means nothing at all to Monday's scoreboard. But it adds something small to the body of work this September. They came from behind to win three games. They beat two playoff teams from a year ago.
And, again, they still have work to do.
Does that surprise anyone? They were outplayed a week ago by Atlanta and Tannehill threw them to victory. They were outplayed even more Monday and Brees wasn't about to let the Dolphins back in this.
But, again, take the wide angle here. The Dolphins have three road games behind them, meaning seven of the final 12 games are home, including Baltimore next week. And Baltimore isn't playing like the Super Bowl champs. It's 2-2.
If you wanted grade the Dolphins on a contenders' scale Monday night, you went away upset. They're not contenders. You really could have seen this loss coming before kickoff.
But they have a chance to be 4-1 at the bye-week with a win against Baltimore on Sunday. Did anyone see that coming?

DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) - France won a match at a major tournament for the first time since Zinedine Zidane's head-butt, beating Ukraine 2-0 Friday in a storm-delayed match at the European Championship.
Jeremy Menez and Yohan Cabaye scored early in the second half for the French, who last won a major match in the semifinals of the 2006 World Cup. In the final of that tournament, Zidane was given a red card for his head-butt in the last match of his career.
"We scored twice and could have had more," France coach Laurent Blanc said. "We have a lot of potential."
Friday's match at the Donbass Arena was suspended for nearly an hour because thunder, lightning and torrential rain forced the players off the field after five minutes. It resumed almost an hour later.
After a 1-1 draw with England in its opening match, France has four points in Group D, one more than Ukraine. The French also extended their unbeaten run to 23 games.
"I congratulated my players and the Ukrainian players," Blanc said. "It was a good match with both teams trying to attack."
Both France goals were the product of the one-touch passing and movement that was once the team's hallmark.
For the first, Franck Ribery gathered the ball on the left, sprinted forward and then set up Karim Benzema near the penalty area. The Real Madrid forward stroked the ball to Menez, who then cut inside and drilled a low shot inside the near post with his left foot.
The goal justified Blanc's decision to replace veteran midfielder Florent Malouda with Menez, although the Paris Saint-Germain winger had two earlier chances denied by the legs of Ukraine goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov.
France's second goal was another example of exquisite teamwork, with Ribery and Samir Nasri combining to find Benzema. He cushioned the ball and then split the Ukraine center halves with a superbly weighted pass that allowed Cabaye to run on and finish with an angled shot.
With France's confidence peaking in Donetsk, Cabaye almost added a third midway through the second half with a half-volley that hit the middle of the right post.
The exasperated whistles from the frustrated home fans at the Donbass Arena grew in intensity, and by the time Nasri forced a late save from Pyatov with a curling free kick, the home fans were already leaving.
"It wasn't easy because they had a whole stadium behind them," Blanc said.
But for the French fans, it was finally something to sing about after going out of the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2008 at the group stage.
Moments before kick off, the rain intensified as about 49,000 soaked Ukrainians gave a searing rendition of their national anthem after a clap of thunder had interrupted France's "La Marseillaise."
When crackles of lightning lit up the sky, referee Bjoern Kuipers made a quick decision in the fifth minute that the players' safety and the drenched field made it impossible to continue.
When the players returned, Menez should have given France the lead in the 28th. Ribery intercepted a dreadful back pass from midfielder Anatoliy Tymoschuk and hit a quick cross that ball rolled behind Benzema and fell to Menez - but Pyatov kicked his effort away.
Ukraine's only clear chance of the match fell to Andriy Shevchenko in the 35th. He found space behind right back Mathieu Debuchy and hit a firm strike from about 10 meters (yards) that was blocked by goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
Pyatov saved Ukraine again on either side of halftime, tipping away Philippe Mexes' header and denying Menez again with his legs.
After Shevchenko drew a hopeful roar from the crowd with a powerful rising shot, Ukraine's efforts fizzled out.
Ukraine: Andriy Pyatov, Oleh Gusev, Taras Mykhalyk, Yevhen Khacheridi, Yevhen Selin, Anatoliy Tymoschuk, Andriy Voronin (Marko Devic, 46), Andriy Yarmolenko (Olexandr Aliyev, 68), Serhiy Nazarenko (Artem Milevskiy, 59), Yevhen Konoplianka, Andriy Shevchenko.
France: Hugo Lloris, Mathieu Debuchy, Adil Rami, Philippe Mexes, Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri, Alou Diarra, Yohan Cabaye (Yann M'Vila, 68), Jeremy Menez (Marvin Martin, 73), Karim Benzema (Olivier Giroud, 76), Franck Ribery.

South St. Paul native Glenn Boche was drafted into the army in March 1969. Once he finished boot camp at Fort Campbell, KY, he went onto Fort Polk, LA, for Advanced Individual Training (AIT) which included weapons instruction, hand-to-hand combat, and jungle warfare.
At the end of Aug. 1969, Boche's orders for Vietnam came through. He was a part of Co. A, 3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division that was stationed in Tay Ninh, about 55 miles northwest of Saigon. Within a month of arriving at this base camp, Boche started going out on patrol missions in the surrounding area. On Jan. 5, 1970, Boche's unit was sent to Nui Be Den, otherwise known as the Black Virgin Mountain. There was a Special Forces Camp at the top and Fire Support Bases (FSB) around the bottom.
However, the middle section of the mountain was comprised of rugged terrain and caves in which the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) could entrench themselves. While patrolling this section of the mountain two of Boche's fellow soldiers were killed. On another mission while retrieving bodies from a helicopter crash, a good friend of Boche's was killed by a sniper a mere 50 feet in front of him.
These missions continued into February and soon Boche was sent to Elephant's Ear near the Cambodian border. Boche was wounded here for the first time with an injury to his upper left arm. The next day Boche's unit was informed by their commander that they would be returning to the same area and he warned that some of them would not make it back.
Once back at the Cambodian border, they came under intense enemy gun and rocket fire. In Boche's company, two soldiers were killed and 13 wounded. Boche was injured a second time with wounds in his right leg and ankle. During the battle, soldiers called in a gunship strike, shielding a strobe light inside of a helmet to help the pilot find their position without giving away their position to the enemy on the ground.
The wounded were taken by Medevac helicopters to Tan Son Nhut Medical Center for treatment and it was during this hospital stay that Boche received the first of two Purple Hearts.
Boche left Vietnam in March 1970 for additional surgery and recuperation in the states. After finishing an assignment at Camp McCoy in Sparta, WI, he returned to Minnesota. He married his wife, Valerie, in 1980 and they raised three sons in South St. Paul. Boche is retired from Burlington Northern, having worked there for 39 years.

Neighborhoods: Colonial Village
Citysearch Editorial Review – Unlike its sibling (Ray's Hell Burger) just a few doors down in Clarendon, Hell Burger Too offers full table service--so no waiting in a line that snakes out the door and hovering over only a handful of tables. The menu is spiced up with some wild game options (venison or wild boar, anyone?) and the addition of beer and wine, but otherwise it looks similar to the original, which features some of D.C.'s most raved-about burgers. Pair a freshly ground beef choice, such as the peppercorn-crusted au poivre, with a cheese board selection (try the imported double cream brie), then top it off with any of 20 toppings, including fried eggs and roasted bone marrow. Sides are tasty too--save room for the crispy, light onion rings or rich seven-cheese mac.
Skip fastfood, head to Ray's! – After hearing all of the hype regarding Ray's Hell Burger, I had to investigate the most talked about burger in the DMV. What I was not told was that Ray's Hell Burger is more of an experience than just your average burger place.
Upon entering the restaurant you may at first be overwhelmed by everything going on around you. Waiters passing by with burgers in their hand, yelling out numbers and squeezing between the crowded tables is a typical scene when arriving. Be prepared, you can only pay for your food in cash, however, they conveniently placed an ATM in the back for their customers. Surprisingly the staff is very friendly despite their hungry customers, crowded tables, and long lines.
When your food arrives you will be pleasantly surprised at the size of our burger. Personally I had to cut mine with a knife. just to dig in. Although I was a little shocked that ordering a burger MEDIUM was VERY pink, almost rare in portions, the taste was out of this world.
Ray's Hell Burger creates a twist on the American Classic, however, you may want to take a small crash course in ordering before diving in.
The Best You'll Find Around on the American Classic – No one can really beat Ray's in the DC metro area. The burgers here are just that darn good, and everyone knows it. Even folks living in the District (like myself) make trips just to get some Hell Burger. It's not big, it's very unassuming, and if you don't know where you're going you can easily miss it. But when you're there, the vibe is bustling and the options are great - Ray's has many of their own versions of a regular hamburger, but you can get a classic one if you want. I'm a fan of The Mack, which is pretty close to a classic burger but with Ray's special sauce; the Let's Get it On is amazingly greasy with its sauteed vegetables. There is no hostess and you just sit wherever you can once you get your burger, but I've never waited more than 5 minutes for a table so it's never a problem.
Best burger in town – Washington has a paucity of places that take pride in making a great hamburger. And some of the best have only sprung up in the past couple years. One of the most anticipated openings was the 2008 debut of a burger shack in an otherwise nondescript commercial strip that happened to have housed the Hell(burger)-raising local favorite Ray's Steaks. It's not a patty; it's a hunk of chopped chuck from the scraps of Ray's prime cuts that makes you earn its taste by opening wide and wrap your jaws around a half-pound of seared flesh. Tender enough to chomp through it with ease but substantial enough to enjoy yourself doing it—and even hope it took a little longer as your taste buds soak up every ounce of the succulent juices. Though they still linger with every bite, I couldn't put it down—because of the instant gratification it inspires and because it made because there was a pool of flavor still resting on my plate.
You'll find better burgers, but you'd be hard-pressed to do it in this town. In a day that I read Hemingway and watched USA beat Canada at their own game, neither made me feel as proud to be an American as gorging on a half pound of prime beef. And neither made me feel as much a man. To put it one way, four paper towels later, the smell of my hands still made my mouth water. Though the Hellburger sparked a slew of competitors cashing in on the $7 burger movement, Ray's is still on top until proven otherwise, flipping all attempted usurpers back to the grilling board.
Extras: Ray's also supplies a wide range of drink options, from wine and Belgian beer Delirium Nocturnum (sister to the more celebrated Delirium Tremens) to root beer on draft and a variety of gourmet sodas perfect for an ice cream float—if you still have room.
Makes even Virgina look appealing! – Ray's Hell Burger is by far my favorite burger institution in the greater D.C. area and is the brain product the same chef and owner of Ray's Steaks (also a fantastic place to get your cred meat fix which I shall talk about later in a list not geared toward the cheaper eats). Ray's is the epitome of a restaurant that knows what it does well and sticks solely to that. I admire this in an eatery. My biggest pet peeve is when restaurants, businesses, people, etc... try to over extend themselves and instead of doing a handful of things well ends up doing a wide array of things poorly. Ray's Hell Burger excels at exactly what you would guess. Burgers. Good old fashion sirloin ground practically in front of you burgers.No matter how busy Ray's is (which is quite busy and quite often) I always get fantastic attention and care from the crew there and always a numero uno product. I'd give insight on what to order, but really you cant go wrong... definitely get a bigger burger and skip the fries if you do anything as the fries are good but nothing amazing... but do get the fresh homemade root beer they serve on draft as it is beyond worth it. And also DO bring cash as they are cash only; however, if you do forget they have an ATM in the back that has zero fees (nice of them) but your bank will no doubt hit you up with a couple buck surcharge and why deal with that when it can be easily avoided and instead place those extra couple of clams down for drinks later or snacks after your evening libations?!
Wow – amazing! you cannot come to DC and not eat here.
You'll Forget About Five Guys – One would be hard pressed to find a better burger for the money, and maybe at all. Ray's does away with frivolity - they weren't serving french fries when I moved to Courthouse in August - on its mission to deliver the best burgers around.
Coming in: Have a friend start looking for seats while you order.
While in line: Grab a laminated menu off the wall and bone up on your topping choices. Be ready to unhinge your jaw if you get more than a couple.
After ordering: Grab napkins. There's nothing neat about eating a hellburger.
Some complain about the crowd. I see it as a testament to the Ray's experience.

World rejoice! Martin Brodeur wins EA Sports NHL 14 cover vote
By Allan Muir
"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."
–a disgruntled Columbus Blue Jackets fan
Actually, those words were uttered by Thomas Jefferson, a well-known Devils supporter. And if Weezy's husband was still with us today, he'd no doubt rejoice in the news that, through the practice of strict democratic principles, the people have voted Martin Brodeur as their choice of cover athlete for EA Sports' highly anticipated NHL 14, justly sending co-finalist Sergei Bobrovsky back to the obscurity from whence he came.
The very entertaining proof is above.
"The support I've received throughout the cover vote campaign has been incredible," Brodeur said in a canned statement. "My kids pushed me to participate in the campaign, and they are really excited to see their dad on the cover of the game they play all the time. I want to thank all the NHL fans who campaigned and voted for me."
No, Martin, we thank you for your courage and for the passionate campaigning that inspired a generation of gamers. This truly is, as someone somehow involved with this process said, "a momentous occasion."
The game, featuring Brodeur's grand visage, will be released on … wait a minute … we have to wait another three months for the stinkin' game now? Oh, fer cryin' out loud…
